Progress from Poverty.

Edward Atkinson OF Boston, in O
recent address on Progress from
Poverty" said he did not share in
the apprehensions Of some people
over these troublous times. II the
labor element were half as dangerous
as it was pictured by some our cities
would have been destroyed twenty
years ago. Mr.. Atkinson compared
II stone axe from thirty feet under a
glacial drift at the mouth OF the Della
ware with q modern 50-cent hatchet,
and said that the prehistoric man
with the stone axe was greater cap
italist compared to the man who had
none than any capitalist OF to-day.
The prehistoric capitalist kept his
capital to himself; the modern CAPT
taiist could only derive benefit
from his capital by shar-
ing it with others. More than 90
per cent OF the people in this country
were in substantial equality as regards
food. fuel clothing and shelter; the
greatest disparity was in their control
OF their time. There was more CAPT
tai to-day than men capable OF using
it; the capital OF to-day was what was
wasted 25 years ago. Railroad man
ayers were hard worked and were pub
lie beneiactors. Last year an average
OF ~ pounds was carried by railroads
112 miles to each man, woman and
child in the country, and the lecturer
preferred that Mr.. Vanderbilt should
carry this than to carry it himself,
even il Mr.. Vanderbilt made $780,
600 by it; it would be cheap at that.
AS for congress going out OF it's pre-
scribed course to regulate railroads,
il would better first try regulating
the bakeries and butcher shops in the
District OF Columbia, and possibly
it might in time learn how to regulate
railroads. Development OF the
individual and education OF the young
were the only remedies for socialism.
Compulsory labor had been abolished,
and intelligent men would not now
submit to it-as soon as they found
it out. Every labor organization
would ultimately become common
school OF social sciences. There was
no cause for fear in labor matters;
m4l were in the initial stage at pres
ent, and all would come out well.
Mr.. Atkinson, in conclusion, review
ed the history OF this country from
1860, and showed by diagrams how
in that period diminished prices ana
profits have gone hand in hand with
higher wages and less cost OF produc
ton. "Never," said he, "has there
been such progress from poverty to
welfare as in the past few years OF
business depression, which began in
1878. have investigated fifty arts
for the period from 1860 to the pres
emit time, and find the same conditions
higher wages, lower cost, diminish
ing profits and increased production.
Henry Georges theory, if carried out,
would help the poor man little, and it
can't be carried out"

THE HERALD stands corrected by
the Sherman Herald. The Daily Dem
ocrat was intended and the excel
lent Herald overlooked:
The DALLAS HERALD should revise its
statement of 1.-THE Press on Prohibition. y
IT Il Is no more correct with the other pa
pers of the State than il is with the Sher-
man papers II is sadly in error. There is no
such paper as the " Sherman Daily Re,
porter The Register is against. instead
of for. and the Courier, Democrat and sun
day Herald, all for prohibition, are not
mentioned at all.

THE eternal doctrines of Democracy
are COMPOUNDED by some people with
less important questions of party con-
venicnce or expediency. A strict con-
struction of the constitution, tariff for
revenue exclusively, opposition to cell
tralization and to the encroachments
of corporations and the growth OF
monopolies-t are cardinal Demo.
cratic doctrines. Consistent Demo-
Gratis may differ touching the plans or
methods to be adopted in securing
party success without compromising
in any way their party fidelity.

How Baking Powders are Made

In quoting new words, an exchange
says boom" was given us by Gen.
Grant during the war. The dear old
grandmothers OF the south have used
the word "boom" for more than fifty
years and its meaning has been enlarg-
ed very little except by Dallas and
other live Texas cities. II does not
mean "bum," as our anti friends might
imagine.

GALVESTON people favor the inter-
state commerce law because it gives
them an advantage that fifty other
Texas cities have gained by enterprise,
iberality and push. This sclfshness
is consistent with the past history OF
the Island City. We want our goods
by rail direct and are going to have
them that way.

"MANY farmers claim to be one crop
Behind, and imagine that they could
and would keep out of debt if they
were up" said an intelligent farmer
friend yesterday. "But,' he contin-
ued, "thcy would not do it. They
would spend five times as much as
they do, if they had the money. There
arc so many novelties, conveniences
and attractions always in sight that
almost every body is overcome by
them, and they draw all the money
out of the country. AS rule, the
freedmen spend theirs before it is
made and consequently pay two prices.
Besides the poverty, which our mod
ern extravagant habits bring upon u.s.
we may trace half of the crimes COM
mitted to the same source"

HERALD artist to furnish him for his

all her grand spires transformed into

a whiskey barrel" This cannot be
done. The Fort is too large and does
not deserve such treatment.

THE farmers in the recent lcgis-
lature have been referred to derisively
as shay seeds by some of the papers.
Taken as class, farmers are certainly
as conservative and reliable as any OF
our people, and their honesty is pro
verbal. Calling them "hay seeds
will not aggravate or hurt them.

SMALL HEADS AND HEARTS.

1t takes all kinds of people to make
a world and, as there is plenty of room,
we have no disposition to lesson the
shadows of any but if there is class
that should be put out it is the class to
which this article relates. 1t is COM
posed largely of the stylish" people
who have no sympathy nor respect for
persons who happen to be a little be-
hind them in the opportunities and
conventionalities of society or who
are too honest TO wear fine clothing
without paying for il. They may be
as poor as Jobe's turkey, yet they con-
tinue to dress their precious carcass
es III the costliest raimen, and to hold
themselves above other people and
above the honest labor and care of life.
1t is remarkable fact that some per-
sons of intelligence belong to this
army and go through their lives in II
silly chase after bubbles and shadows.
Wealthy people are usually stin-
gy, or, at least, careful of their
wealth, aud few Of these exquisitely
stylish people are richer than an or
binary cod fish. Yet, they actually
fancy that they belong to some royal
race, and that TO eat bread by the
sweat of ones brow is a very mean
and vulgar thing to do. The fact is,
that intelligent people who consider
the meaning and methods of life in
comprehensive and philosophical way
put these people down as Tie harmless
butterflies and useless drones of the
race. They are much worse than this
IN many cases. They go in style with
out paying, and it takes dishonest
person to do this. They are mean
and selfish, because they do notrespect
the rough hand that feeds them. They
are narrow-minded aud intolerant,
indolent and weak. Persons belong
ing 10 his worthless class will deny |
their fathers and mothers because
their manners aud styles are old and
ont Of date. They compose class
that the world could do without. But
we have plenty of room and will have
to bear with them little longer.

There is going the rounds of the news
papers story to the effect that French
girl lately died In Chicago of some un-
known disease, and that an infant snap
ping-turtle was taken from her stomach
after death. The tale Is told with as
much realism and circumstantiality as If
1t had not been certainly demonstrated
by science that no breathing animal can
exist in the human stomach. In this
case, as it is suggested that the egg from
which the infant turtle was sprobably"
Matched was taken into the girls stomach
while she was drinking water, 1t follows
that incubation must have taken place
within that organ, and life given to the
creature; for 1t was "aliye and vigorous"
and "of the size of silver half-dollar"
when found. The story fades away I'M
der the light of the facts in the case. The
attending physician says that the girl
had peritonitis, and that the alleged ''snap-
ping.t was an undigested slice of
an orange, cut across the grain of the
fruit, ''about the size of silver half
dollar" It was good story, and, In
spite of its inherent improbability, will
continue to lve--an almost literal copy
of ''tllreo black crows Of tradition. For
that story was founded on the fact that
the sick man had thrown something from
his stomach THAT was as black as any
crow Neseark Daily Advertiser.

THE MISSING LEGISLATORS.

The next House of Assembly will con-
tain 341 new members, and nineteen who
were members of the disorderly House.
Of these, ten are Republicans, and only
nine are Democrats, who were accessories
to the crime Of stealing the seats of two
Republican members. 1t is a noticeable
fact that TurIey and Walter, who were
unrighteonsly seated, have not re-appear-
ed. Their share In the ungodly affair
will cling to them during the remainder
of their lives, and keep them ia merited
obscurity. Jim" Beckwith, the Allan
tic pee-wee, Is among the missing, SO is
HBinv Harrigan and HTom" Noonan and
Ches. Wolverton, and funny-eyed Kinney
and the bellicose Baird, and Hudspeth,
and the two Labor men from Paterson,
Carroll and Donohue. The only member
of the bowling mob who will appear in
the next House is Frank McDermitt. He
will be like cat 10 a strange garrett, and
will be suppressed IL he attempts any OF
the monkey shines which made him so
conspicuous last Winter. The drunken
crowd is thinned out almost completely.
Only two of the members who appeared
on tho floor of the House drunk havo
been returned. It is scarcely necessary
to mention that they are not Republicans.
Among the members who will be badly
missed are Armstrong. Oviatt and Corbin,
particularly the latter, on the Republican
side. Corbin was whole team for hon
est legislation, and dealt with every sub.
ject on higher plane than Is usual
among Assemblymen. Among the nota-
bles who will como back on the Democra-
tic side Ia Matthews, the boy orator from
Elizabeth, a prime mover In the Turley
fraud, and ono who win be harmlessly
tucked away on tho tail end of some In
significant committee. Goble and Feeney
viii be back, and their loud responses
will attract attention, as the aye of one
browns the nay of the other, for Goble Is
a staunch Republican and viii be on the
other side from Feeney, unless the Re-
publican endorsement which Feeney re-
ceived has leavened his Democracy.
In the Senate Col. Herring, President
Fish, Stacy Pancoast, DIR. Chattle, Sena-
tors Miller, Livingston and Moon are the
missing ones.-.]ersey City Journal.

put ir hospital, and that she was at one
time made an honorary member of the
Grand Army of the Republic. She claims
that the little badge about which this dis
pute has arisen was placed in her button
hole by the Governor Of New York.
